How do you say "hot dogs" in Spanish?

Franfura; been calling it this since I was a little gal. I grew up with my grandmother who never called it "perros calientes" but "franfura" instead. :) - AndreaMichelle, Sep 11, 2014

Answer 1

I've seen them simply described in Mexico/Cuba as "perros calientes" which I found rather disappointing! Not a very exotic spanish description, but then I suppose hot dogs aren't that exciting!

In Spain they are called the same thing. - lazarus1907, Sep 9, 2010
